Never before has one cookie, about half the size of a cassette tape, seemed so unbearably, impossibly daunting.<br><br>It is eight o'clock at night, and all I've had today are about 20 individual strands of noodles, eaten painstainkingly one-by-one over the course of three hours. Prior to this experience, I had never thought of a single noodle as a multi-bite sort of food, bur rather, something to be swallowed all at once, usually in the company of many other noodles. Not so when you ...

When the woman we are interviewing suddenly starts screaming and then storms out of the room, my worries are confirmed. <br><br>The question, "Did your birth attendant wash his or her hands with soap before performing your delivery?" was not the one which I expected to be a great offense, but I was not entirely surprised at her reaction. <br><br>Haylee and I are in Sunkiya, a village of about 1,000 people, administering surveys to recent mothers on behalf of the Central Himalayan ...

It being festival season here, I have stopped being afraid when woken up by loud explosions in the darkness. I know that these crashes and bangs are just fireworks, representing light and good will and maybe a little bit of mischief. Still, I am NOT accustomed to waking up to screams, and so when, at 11:40PM, I awoke to shrieks, I was instantly terrified.<br><br>There stood Whitney, my roommate, paralyzed with fear, staring at the wall.<br><br>"What is it?" I asked, alert.<br><br ...

Tonight is Diwali, and while fireworks crash over our heads we run and weave through the forests and meadows of Sonapani playing Sardines, a kind of reverse hide-and-go-seek.

Not another peep for about hour or so at which point he pops up and hands us a sweet with the cutest little head waggle in response to our thanks. Another hour later he gets out of his chair and hands out more sweet treats to the travellers seated near us. Fascinated by Jonathan's laptop ...

The driver of the open vehicle was on a mission- in and out of the park quickly. We didn't even stop to view the cats! But, we were just along for the ride. There were 16 ...
